This book "relates the role the Youghiogheny had in the development of the Nation. The now extinct Yough Glades, often mentioned in early history are here described as they were when the first pioneers came over Backbone Mountain. As the writer's research into local history began in the 1930's when a generation lived who could recall word of mouth history back to settlement days, much historical lore and picturesque village life is herein preserved for the future." --Book Jacket.

In addition to unions between European men and Native women, Perdue also considers the special cases arising from the presence of white women and African men and women in Indian society.".

A study of the role blood quantum played in the assimilation period between 1887 and 1934 in the United States.
